★Hard Candy★Traverse City电影节对麦姐的到来表示热烈欢迎! "Madonna, we love you!"The cheers started pouring out shortly after the pop superstar -- days away from turning 50 -- hit the red carpet in front of the State Theatre at the Traverse City Film Festival on Saturday night.A short while later, she told the audience inside that "you can take the girl out of Michigan, but you can't take the Michigan out of the girl" and recalled vacations to the region with family.Madonna later told the audience her next world tour would stop in Detroit. It would be her first Detroit engagement since 2001.That news came during a question-and-answer session that followed the screening of her documentary "I am because we are" about orphans in Malawi. The session was closed to the press.Festival founder Michael Moore confirmed that Madonna said she would include Detroit. No specifics were released.Moore said Madonna had "an incredible night" at the theater, describing how moved she was by the reception.Dressed in black, her blond hair falling in loose waves, the Material Girl from Michigan waved and posed for photos before entering the theater, the site of a screening of her documentary.And she thanked festival founder and Flint native Moore, who was standing next to her, for his inspiration and advice on the documentary."This movie means so much to me, for so many reasons," she said. "Making this film was the journey of a lifetime."The documentary is about bringing attention to the plight of the 1 million orphans in Malawi, a nation ravaged by AIDS and poverty.Madonna brought her daughter, Lourdes, 11, to the event. Her father, Silvio Ciccone, and stepmother, Joan, were there, too (the Ciccone winery is in nearby Suttons Bay).Although Madonna's visit drew coverage from some celebrity news sources like "Extra" and People magazine, the atmosphere surrounding it was more like an oversize family reunion than a Hollywood bash.Before bringing the star onstage, Moore joked that he didn't know the last time she'd played a venue with 540 seats. Later, she corrected him, saying she'd just done a gig in Paris that was about the same size.Moore also shared memories of going to a party for one of her CDs on his birthday, where she surprised him with a cake and candles and he was coaxed by her husband, Guy Ritchie, to try break dancing.He described Madonna as "one of the kindest and giving people that I've met, one of the smartest people I know" and applauded her for adopting her 2-year-old son, David, who's from Malawi.The proceeds from two Saturday screenings of "I Am Because We Are" (at the State, where Madonna appeared, and another at the nearby City Opera House, which had a live simulcast of her remarks) will go to Madonna's foundation, Raising Malawi.One of the first fans in line for the State Theatre screening, Chris Divine, 37, of Portland, Ore., said he paid "less than $2,000" for two tickets on eBay."I'm a fanatic, so I had to come," said Divine.Tickets sold out immediately when they went on sale in June for $25. People lined up in Traverse City to purchase them. There also was a lottery to buy them for Friends of the Traverse City Film Festival.The line to see Madonna was officially supposed to start at 5 p.m.But fans had been waiting for months for the chance of an up-close glimpse at the queen of pop.Giovanni Avoledo, 39, of Ferndale was near the front of the line for the general admission seats. "I don't think she gets the credit she deserves" for her humanitarian work, he said. "Everybody seems to be focusing on her personal life, but I could care less.""This is her baby, something that is intimate for her," Philippe Van Den Bossche, who manages Madonna's philanthropy around the world, said of the film."She really wants to use the opportunity of her celebrity, her fame, her power, her wealth, to really help those who need it the most, the vulnerable children and all of their caregivers," said Van Den Bossche, who came to Traverse City in connection with the film.
★Hard Candy★麦姐回密歇根老家介绍I am because we are She might be known worldwide as the Material Girl, but there's more than a little of the small-town Michigan girl left in Madonna.The pop superstar arrived in this northern Michigan resort town Saturday to introduce her documentary, "I Am Because We Are," a highlight of the Traverse City Film Festival. The event was co-founded by filmmaker, author and fellow Michigan native Michael Moore.Hundreds of fans cheered from behind barricades as Madonna, wearing a black dress, high heels and sunglasses, stepped out of a black sport utility vehicle that pulled up in front of the State Theatre. She hugged a waiting Moore, who sported an orange baseball cap, and posed for photos with him.Madonna and Moore shared the stage at the theater before a screening of the movie, which deals with the orphans of Malawi, the African nation where she and husband Guy Ritchie adopted a son."It's great bringing my movie to a place that I feel familiar," Madonna told the audience. "Not like the Cannes Film Festival, where nobody's speaking English, or the Tribeca Film Festival, where no one sits down."There's something poetic about coming back to the place where I used to come for holidays _ camping trips with my dad and stepmother and my very large family," said the 49-year-old singer, born to the southeast in Bay City and raised in the Detroit suburb of Rochester Hills.Madonna was accompanied by her 11-year-old daughter, Lourdes, and the film's director, Nathan Rissman. Ritchie was not present.Moore, who won an Oscar for his 2002 documentary "Bowling for Columbine," said he was humbled to be able to call Madonna a friend."She has such an incredible heart and such a generous spirit," he said. "She does so much out of the glare of the lights to make the world a better place."Madonna had praise of her own for Moore, 54, a Flint-area native who has a home near Traverse City."There aren't a lot of role models for us in the world, or people we can look up to," she said. "People who are not afraid to stick their neck out, people who are not afraid to stand up for things and be unpopular, to go against the grain, think outside the box."And we need, and I need, Michael Moore in my life."Madonna appeared amid the release of a tell-all book by her brother and speculation about her relationship with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Madonna and Rodriguez both deny an affair. She did not address the dust-ups in her appearance Saturday.

★Hard Candy★rolling stone杂志简介 最近打算贴一些国外杂志的麦姐专题,先介绍一些杂志吧。Rolling Stone is a United States-based magazine devoted to music, politics, and popular culture that is published every two weeks. Rolling Stone was founded in San Francisco in 1967 by Jann Wenner (who is still editor and publisher) and music critic Ralph J. Gleason. The magazine was influential in shaping pop culture in the 1970s, as evidenced by the song dedicated to it: "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show.Known for its political coverage beginning in the 1970s, with the enigmatic and controversial gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, the magazine helped launch the careers of such prominent writers as Cameron Crowe, Joe Klein, Joe Eszterhas, P. J. O'Rourke, and Kurt Loder. Rolling Stone changed its format in the 1990s to appeal to younger readers, often focussing on young television or film actors and pop music. This led to criticism that the magazine was emphasizing style over substance.In recent years, however, the magazine has resumed its traditional mix of content, including in-depth political stories, and has seen circulation (currently at 1.4 million) and revenue rise.Beginnings in San Francisco John Lennon - RS 1 (November 9, 1967) How I Won the War Film StillTo get the magazine off the ground, Wenner borrowed $7500 from his family members and from the family of his soon-to-be wife, Jane Schindelheim. Rolling Stone was initially identified with and reported on the hippie counterculture of the era. However, the magazine distanced itself from the underground newspapers of the time, such as Berkeley Barb, embracing more traditional journalistic standards and avoiding the radical politics of the underground press. In the very first edition of the magazine, Wenner wrote that Rolling Stone "is not just about the music, but about the things and attitudes that music embraces." This has become the de facto motto of the magazine.In the 1970s, Rolling Stone began to make a mark for its political coverage, with the likes of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson writing for the magazine's political section. Thompson would first publish his most famous work Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas within the pages of Rolling Stone, where he remained a contributing editor until his death in 2005. In the 1970s, the magazine also helped launch the careers of many prominent writers, such as Cameron Crowe, Joe Klein, Joe Eszterhas, P. J. O'Rourke, and Kurt Loder. It was at this point that the magazine ran some of its most famous stories, including that of the Patty Hearst abduction odyssey.The magazine was so influential in shaping pop culture in the 1970s that a song dedicated to it, "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show (written by Shel Silverstein), became a hit single. Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show eventually did end up fulfilling their wish and ended up on the cover of Rolling Stone.TodayIn the 1990s, facing competition from lad mags such as FHM, Rolling Stone reinvented itself, hiring former FHM editor Ed Needham. The magazine started targeting younger readers and offering more sex-oriented content, which often focused on sexy young television or film actors as well as pop music. At the time, some long-time readers denounced the magazine, claiming it had declined from astute musical and countercultural observer to a sleek, superficial tabloid, emphasizing style over substance.Since then, however, the magazine has resumed its traditional mix of content, including in-depth political stories, and has seen circulation (currently at 1.4 million) and revenue rise. In 2007, the magazine's revenue was up 23.3 percent. Also in 2007, the magazine won a National Magazine Award for general excellence and was a finalist in reporting for Janet Reitman's article "Inside Scientology."
